For students interested in French language and culture, Strasbourg offers the chance to enroll in courses at three partner universities: Science-Po Strasbourg, the University of Strasbourg, and the Institut International d’Études Françaises. Students can take courses in English at the Syracuse center or deepen their language skills at partner institutions. This program is designed for students with intermediate to advanced French language proficiency.
World Partner Programs
Through Syracuse University’s World Partner Programs, students can choose from over 50 study abroad options at partner institutions in regions like Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. These programs are ideal for independent students looking for unique experiences, such as studying public health in India, learning Arabic in Morocco, or exploring global oceans aboard a sailing vessel.
Application Process
The application cycle for Spring 2026 opens on May 15 and runs through October 1 for most programs. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but students are encouraged to apply early as some programs have limited capacity. In a new change for Spring 2026, students will be required to submit second, third, and fourth-choice programs in case their first choice reaches capacity.
For more details, students can schedule an appointment with an international program advisor or make a general advising appointment to explore their study abroad options. Virtual advising will also be available over the summer, on a limited basis.
For specific deadlines and further information, students are encouraged to visit the individual program application pages on the Syracuse Abroad website.
